Persona 4 Arena out in Japan next month

Persona 4 Arena is the new game by 2D fighter heroes Arc System Works. It also marks the departure from RPG gameplay for Atlus’ Persona series. Persona 4 Arena features Arc’s typically tight and frenetic gameplay as showcased in their other titles such as Guilty Gear X and BlazBlue.

Persona 4 Arena‘s roster includes favorites from Persona 4 and Persona 3. It takes things a step further by also continuing the story of the long running JRPG. The game music will feature some original pieces as well as remixes from the previous Persona games.
